There were so many people moving around at the reception that it was hard to understand who to pay or ask for anything. A form or a pin would have been good. The cleaning was sloppy.

Super beautiful place very close to the city and the ocean. Simple accommodation at a reasonable price. Everything you need was there.

Nice place to stay for budget travellers. Perfect location, simple and comfortable for hot days. Has a wifi space, kitchen and laundry service. Good value of money.

Little things like the lighting in the room.and the toilet, a bit more seriousness on the shower (plus the broken locks). The internet, which I guess it's a whole Moz problem. Plugs and private lights for each bed would help.

The staff; from the owner to Misteria (I hope I wrote the right spelling), to the cleaning ladies, the guard in the evenings. The location; just a few min from the main fun area and right on the beach. Free coffee from 7 till 10 am.

Cold showers in the shared bathroom next to our bungalow.

Located at the very beach (beautiful one!), but also very simplistic - small bungalows with walls and roof from cane, little rooms with two beds, mosquito nets, 3 cane shelves and that's it. Lighting in the rooms is rather minimal, WiFi working more or less reasonably only in the reception area. Kitchen available. 100m from the Liquid Adventure diving center, if you are diving. Small bar next to the motel door. Lady at reception speaks English, no problems with communication.

The smell of the blankets, the size of the blankets. I went there with my wife so I was supposed do get a blanket for a couple not for single.

Rats were in the room and left droppings.

Almost couldn't leave, felt like home away from home. Nothing beats being able to run across the sand into the ocean in the mornings. Staff was friendly and social.

I should have looked into paying at the property as the card machine isn't working. Luckily, I had some rands to exchange. They called someone to come and exchange rands for MTC so I could pay in cash. Take note there is NO ATM in the town so bring plenty of cash! Also, the wifi works in the main area but not the rooms so it's not as suitable for digital nomads... however, the data from local SIM cards works like a charm!

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The property is literally on the beach so that is lovely. There weren't many guests so it was quiet. I went for a private room so I did not experience the dorms. Also, there is a restaurant and surf shack attached to the property so you are set with amenities. It is a very short walk into town and the market with lots of food options.

Could invest in better lights in the rooms.

Pariango is a very chill hostel with the perfect location. It’s right on the beach, and very close to town. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Dormitories were very hot so it was difficult to rest despite fans and electrical outlets were few compared to available beds. Sometimes the water running in the bathrooms was really poor.

It's a backpackers hostel frequented by people of all nationalities, friendly and relaxed atmosphere where it is very easy to chitchat or make new friends. The place is literally adjacent to a surf shack where you can rent boards receiving a discount as Pariango customers and also it is extremely easy to get to places such as the market, the beach or clubs. Also the bus stop is just 200m from it.

The room and the bed was not cleaned, for the days I stayed I didn’t see the staff changing the bed clothes. The water at the bathroom was not cleaned, but the owner of the property explained that it’s a problem in Tofo, and I confirmed because I went to a restaurant and I saw that the water was cloudy. The sun gets easily at the bedroom so if you’re a person who doesn’t like sleeping in a bright room it’s not worth it. you can also ear people cooking in the kitchen, so you can’t rest well, and people working in the carpentry shop next door. The room is very hot and not all fans work. The water in the bathroom doesn’t get with much pressure, so if someone else is taking shower you must ask for the person to wait for you.

The property is next to the beach, so you can enjoy the view also you can walk to the beach.

The cleaning staff mainly, that we're very lazy, sleep and eat in the same areas with customers, use the toilets during the day and night (sometimes disturbing while resting). The kitchen cleaning and organization was chaotic, the fridges were full packed and not functioning properly. The utilities were not well cleaned at all. There was not a microwave to quickly heat anything.

The perfect and center location, from the beach to the market. Misteria was very thoughtful and responsible.

Stayed in January 2023

The tap water was green/brown and the bathroom facilities could be improved.

The hostel has a great location. There is a lot of space to hang out in the garden. The staff is very friendly. The other guests were sociable and there was a great vibe in the place. The kitchen is well equiped.

Location is excellent

I liked the communal area, we got to meet people from different places and got a chance to have great conversations. The hosts and staff were awesome, very friendly and helpful. Great place to go as a couple, group of friends or family.

Stayed in December 2022

Hot water not always available, rooms get a bit too warm at night and the fan isn’t strong enough in my opinion. Also, mosquito nets need to be taken care of; some have too many holes.

Walking distance to shops, restaurants, the beach, good place to meet people

Stayed in September 2022

Kitchen a bit dirty and dark Holes in the Mosquito nets Not that easy to reach without a 4x4 because of the sand No hot water

Perfectly located at the beach Pretty garden inside Nice vibe Cheap Nice outdoor shower! Overall a nice stay :)
